Chapter 6: Q. 80 (page 358)

Taking the train According to New Jersey Transit, the 8:00A.M. weekday train from Princeton to New York City has a 90%chance of arriving on time on a randomly selected day. Suppose this claim is true. Choose 6 days at random. Let localid="1654594369074" Y=the number of days on which the train arrives on time.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given statement is true, because Y is followed by binomial distribution

Step by step solution

01

Given Informaiotn

The likelihood of success p=90%=0.90

The number trials conducted (n)=6

02

Simplification

The random variable Y satisfies the following requirements.

1. The likelihood of success, i.e., the probability of arriving on time, is fixed at 0.90.

2. The number of days is set.

3. Days are separate from one another.

4. There are two possible outcomes: trains arriving on time or not arriving on time.

Here, all of the binomial criteria are met. As a result, Y is said to follow the binomial distribution.

Total gross profits G on a randomly selected day at Tim鈥檚 Toys follow a distribution that is approximately Normal with mean \(560 and standard deviation \)185. The cost of renting and maintaining the shop is $65 per day. Let P=profit on a randomly selected day, so P=G鈭�65. Describe the shape, center, and variability of the probability distribution of P.

Get on the boat! Refer to Exercise 3. Find the mean of Y. Interpret this value.

Housing in San Jos茅 How do rented housing units differ from units occupied by their owners? Here are the distributions of the number of rooms for owner-occupied units and renter-occupied units in San Jos茅, California:

Let X= the number of rooms in a randomly selected owner-occupied unit and Y = the number of rooms in a randomly chosen renter-occupied unit.

(a) Here are histograms comparing the probability distributions of X and Y. Describe any differences you observe.

(b) Find the expected number of rooms for both types of housing unit. Explain why this difference makes sense.

(c) The standard deviations of the two random variables are 蟽X=1.640and 蟽Y=1.308. Explain why this difference makes sense.
